Emergency Shelter Program

Fairfax County has six emergency shelters for individuals and families
who are homeless. These shelters are
operated by community nonprofit organizations under contract with the
county. The shelters have additional capacity during winter months to
take in people overnight who are at risk of hypothermia.

In addition, a hypothermia
prevention program operates throughout the county during the winter
to provide additional safe, warm space for homeless individuals at night.
If you see someone at night who is unsheltered and you think could be
at risk of hypothermia,
call the county’s non-emergency phone line at 703-691-2131, TTY
711.
